Chapter 266: Heartbeat
Xia Qingtong's initiative was just a momentary impulse. After getting Ming Yue's response, she retreated.
This will want to retreat, Ming Yue will not give her a chance anymore. In some ways, men are self-taught.
The cold wind in the small courtyard can't withstand the fire and heat in Ming Yue's heart at this time. And the hot, why is there only one Mingyue?
Even if the two separated, the boiling blood couldn't calm down for a while.
Xia Qingtong looked at Ming Yue, there are some things that can't be thought about, let alone pierced.
Once it is pierced, it will never go back to the beginning.
Xia Qingtong is not sure, does she really want to pierce that layer of window paper?
Ming Yue was also looking at her, with joy and certainty on her face that seemed to be smiling.
He is indeed very wicked. Even if she has seen countless male stars with stunning skin in later generations, none of them can match him.
It's not just his looks, but everything about him that fascinates people.
But the faces of the grandparents, the faces of the parents who have been blurred in their memories.
Although the heart is moving, the will is strong.
"Prince Xie Liuzi takes a fancy to it. Hope you are satisfied. β
Ming Yue narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you mean?" β
"The Sixth Prince, are you pretending to be confused?" Xia Qingtong's expression was extremely frank, and he pretended to be indifferent: "I said, thank you for taking a fancy to the little girl." That gesture was a thank you gift. But the Sixth Prince, don't forget the agreement between us. β
She and him are in partnership.
Ming Yue almost laughed at her words. He knew she had a secret. But I didn't expect this damn woman to be so bold, and-
"You think I want your body?"
"Isn't it?" The first step is clear, and the rest is much simpler. Only by cutting off Ming Yue's thoughts first, can she have no scruples.
"Xia Qingtongββ"
Ming Yue suddenly stepped forward, her hands were forced, and her body had been imprisoned between him and Guishu.
Xia Qingtong was startled by his sudden outward momentum, and his body touched the trunk tightly. She swallowed, suddenly a little unsure if she had just made a mistake in provoking the fire.
What a little fox, I like it but I want to refuse. Obviously scared, but forced to be calm.
Ming Yue's hands at her side were clenched into fists, and he stared at Xia Qingtong's face, and suddenly smiled.
"Hello. You're so nice. β
Xia Qingtong: ......
She didn't have time to think about whether what she did today was counterproductive, but Ming Yue didn't want to do it anymore.
"Since you said it was a thank you gift. Then you haven't forgotten that you still owe me five times, right? β
"I ......"
"Including this time, am I your savior?"
She also saved him, he knew, but he bet, she would never dare to say.
"You-"
"Since you think that what I want is what you think, then use this to pay it back."
Xia Qingtong didn't have time to react, and Ming Yue had already lowered his head. I'm going to do it againβ
"Your Highnessβ"
There were footsteps approaching outside, Xia Qingtong was startled, quickly pushed Ming Yue away, and took a big step to the side.
Chai Jiu came in, and he didn't notice anything wrong between the two for a while. glanced at Xia Qingtong, not quite sure.
"Your Highness. Yan Yi replied. β
Ming Yue came to his senses, his eyes swept over Xia Qingtong lightly, and when he passed by her, four words escaped.
"I made a note of it."
Xia Qingtong: ......
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Your Highness."
Chai Jiu looked at Ming Yue because he read the letter sent back by Yan Yi, and his expression became solemn.
"How?"
"The antidote to 100 days of drunkenness, Yan Yi has already asked out. However, there is still a lack of medicine. β
"What?"
"Celestial Grass." Ming Yue's expression was solemn: "The stunning grass grows on the cliff deep in the dense forests of southern Xinjiang. The forest is full of miasma. β
"What can I do? Do you want to call a few more people to help him? β
"Not necessarily." Ming Yue shook his head: "Yan Yi is good at poison, if he can't do it, let alone others." β
Chai Jiu nodded, and thought of another thing.
"Your Highness. We have almost found the evidence of Zheng Xing's father and son. The people involved in the salt mine have also been found. However, there is a very important witness, who was persecuted and hunted down by Zheng Xing before, and lost his trace a few months ago. Judging by the results of my interrogation, this man should still be alive. He has direct evidence of Yin Zongci's collusion with Zheng Xing. If this person is found, the Yin family is bound to fall. β
The evidence they have now can only prove that the matter of the salt mine has something to do with the Yin family in the capital.
If the Yin family pushes someone out to confess their guilt at that time, it will not be a big deal for them.
What Ming Yue wants is to completely beat the Yin family down.
"Where is this person?"
"I heard that he fled south. Whereabouts unknown. I've asked Xi Er to track it down. If there is news, Xi Er will reply as soon as possible. β
"Make sure you find this person."
With physical evidence, plus human evidence, he wants to see how the Yin family turns over.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Xia Qingtong thought that Ming Yue was like before, and he would definitely hold her. I have to force her to give in.
But after he was called by Chai Jiu, he never came back. This made her breathe a sigh of relief and a little lost.
She knew she was hypocritical, but she really couldn't just give up the way home. chose to be with Ming Yue.
If there is no result, it is better to cut the love silk now.
But in the next time, Ming Yue not only didn't come back, but seemed to become more and more busy.
She basically couldn't see Ming Yue's figure. I heard that they have been working hard to find incriminating evidence related to the Yin family.
Knowing that Ming Yue was busy, Xia Qingtong didn't bother him.
She just didn't have nothing to do, and she hadn't been to some interesting places here in Lucheng.
Not to mention, you can collect more first-hand information here, as well as some atlases and travelogues. She also came here to know that the geographical environment of this road city is the center of the entire Dongzhao country.
Walking all the way to the north, it is the border with Beidi Beiyuan City. To the south, it is back to Beijing. Further east, there is the sea.
Xia Qingtong walked away from the neighborhood, returned to the post station, and hand-drew a map of the nearby cities.
According to her calculations, the distance from this side to sea is not too far. If you can go to sea -
After Xia Qingtong came to this place, she had seen a lot of their maps, but those maps were too simple for her.
After learning about the geography of the neighborhood, she had the idea to draw a map of these places.
Label it clearly in a modern way, so that it looks clear at a glance.
With this idea, she simply hid in the post station after the information was ready, concentrating on drawing.
"What is this?"
When Ming Yue entered the door, he saw Xia Qingtong painting, which can be said to be a painting, but it is not like it.
"Map." Xia Qingtong still has one last point left, and it is time to wrap up.
"Maps?" Ming Yue stared at the silk cloth on the table, frowning slightly.
"It's Yutu."
After Xia Qingtong finished speaking, he remembered that Ming Yue had never seen a map. She explained briefly.
"You see, this is the center of Lucheng City. This is the town, this is the river, this is the road, this is the mountain. If you draw it like this, isn't it much clearer? β
She still has a few more strokes to finish. Xia Qingtong said casually, but Ming Yue suddenly became correct because of her words.
He leaned over to look at the map she had drawn, which was much simpler than they had seen now, but also far more dangerous.
Xia Qingtong put away his pen and looked at the floor plan of the entire nearby state city. turned around and looked at Ming Yue, with a bit of smugness in his eyes.
"How? Isn't it clear at a glance? β
Ming Yue was not in a hurry to praise Xia Qingtong, he stared at the so-called "map" for a long time. He turned around and pulled her wrists hard, and put his hands on her shoulders.
"Tell me, you'll draw this, who else knows? Or has anyone else seen it? β
Xia Qingtong didn't know why: "You were the first to see it." I want to surprise you. What's wrong? β
Ming Yue's expression was cold: "Don't let the second person know that you will draw this picture, and don't let the second person see the picture you draw." β
Xia Qingtong: ......
"If this map you drew falls into the hands of the enemy, won't they know all the situation in my Dongzhao territory?"
Xia Qingtong was stunned for a moment, and then nodded very seriously.
"That's true. But why not think the other way around? If I could draw a map of the enemy country, wouldn't it be the same? β
Looking at the flying look in her eyes, Ming Yue's face softened a little: "It's easy to say." Is it possible, do you still want to go to Beidi? β
"Can't you? Isn't Beidi surrendering now? Trade between the two sides was also agreed. As long as I go to the territory of Beidi, I will do more visits. In time, I will be able to draw their geographical environment clearly. β
It's just that if you want to draw the entire geographical environment of Beidi, it will take a long time.
She said casually, but Ming Yue didn't let go of her shoulders. His head was down, eye level with her.
"Give you time, you can draw all the places you've seen?"
"That's right. And it depends on what you want to do. There can be different ways of expressing it. β
For example, the scale is different, and the modern map is different, and the traffic map is completely different from the terrain map. Andβ
"Oh? Is it? β
"Yes. It'sβ"
Xia Qingtong stopped halfway through his words. Ming Yue was staring at her face with burning eyes. Her lips moved, and she didn't find her voice for a long time.
"Why didn't you say it?"
"That's it." Xia Qingtong's voice was very soft: "I suddenly remembered, I was looking for red cherry blossoms to return-"
"Playing chess is taught by the old marquis, but who taught you to draw maps?"
Ming Yue's expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and the eyes that did not let her escape at all, Xia Qingtong swallowed her saliva and pulled the corners of her mouth in extreme embarrassment.
"As far as I know. You can't find such a talent in the whole capital, so who do you learn from? β
"I-"
"Or is the third girl so smart? Can you be self-taught? β
"Huh." Xia Qingtong smiled more and more embarrassed: "If I really answer like this, do you believe it?" β
"What do you think?" Take a look at the latest chapter of "I Was an Internet Celebrity Paw Book House in Ancient Times" to read for free for the first time.
